“…Other adverse effects of crime include extortion Daniele andMarani, 2011), kidnapping of workers (Clegg and Gray, 2002), and disruptions in supply chains (Barnes and Oloruntoba, 2005;Czinkota, 2005;Globerman and Storer, 2009;and Branzei and Abdelnour, 2010). Local demand may decline due to emigration, business relocation, and firm closures (Greenbaum et al, 2007). Also, Ashby and Ramos (2013) find a negative effect of organized crime on foreign investment in Mexico.…”

“…The potential adverse effects are through assessment of regional security risks (Kotabe, 2005), security budgets (Spich andGrosse, 2005 andCzinkota et al, 2010), extortion Daniele andMarani, 2011), kidnapping of workers (Clegg and Gray, 2002), disruptions in supply chains (Barnes and Oloruntoba, 2005;Czinkota, 2005;Globerman and Storer, 2009;and Branzei and Abdelnour, 2010), and decreases in local demand (Greenbaum et al, 2007). Local demand may decline due to emigration, business relocation, and firm closures (Greenbaum et al, 2007). (2000), Detotto and Otranto (2011);Forni and Paba (2000), Cardenas (2007), Ashby and Ramos (2013), and Robles et al (2013), use the number of recorded intentional homicides as a crime indicator.…”

This paper studies the transmission of crime shocks to the economy in a sample of 32 Mexican states over the period from 1993 to 2012. The paper uses a panel structural VAR approach which accounts for the heterogeneity of the dynamic state level responses in GDP, FDI and international migration flows, and measures the transmission via the impulse response of homicide rates. The approach also allows the study of the pattern of economic responses among states. In particular, the percentage of GDP devoted to new construction and the perception of public security are characteristics that are shown to be associated with the sign and magnitude of the responses of economic variables to crime shocks.

“…From the previously mentioned arguments, we can suggest several factors that could happen within a region: Migration caused by criminal activities, decreases in personal consumption (Cullen and Levitt, 1999), reduction in personal use (Mejía and Restrepo, 2010), and relocation and closure of companies (Greenboum, Dugan and Lafree, 2007), given the fact that retail companies are largely affected by criminal organizations and extortion as firms in the retail sector are more likely to be victims of criminal organizations through blackmail and intimidation (Daniele and Marani, 2011).…”

Insecurity has led to slow growth in the different regions in Mexico. But it has influenced much more in the touristic areas of the country. This is the case of the municipality of Acapulco Guerrero, place considered as one of the most insecure worldwide. Through the prevalent information on insecurity in the municipalities of the country available in the National Institute of Geography and Statistics (INEGI for its acronym in Spanish) and the information on the income of tourism provided by SESNSP of the period 1999-2014, we constructed an index of violence, which shows that the highest concentration of insecurity is located in Acapulco and Chilpancingo principally. This problem has negatively influenced the growth of the region, given its significant impact on tourism. ResumenLa inseguridad ha ocasionado un lento crecimiento en las diferentes regiones mexicanas. Pero ha influido mucho más en las zonas turísticas del país, ejemplo de ello es el municipio de Acapulco Guerrero, lugar considerado como una de las más inseguras a nivel internacional. Mediante la información prevaleciente sobre la inseguridad en los municipios del país disponible en el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) e información sobre el ingreso del turismo que proporciona SESNSP del periodo 1999-2014, construimos un índice de violencia con el que mostramos que la mayor concentración de la inseguridad se localiza en Acapulco y Chilpancingo principalmente, y que este problema ha influido negativamente en el crecimiento de la región dado su impacto significativo en el turismo.Palabras clave: inseguridad; turismo; crecimiento económico. Insegurança e seu impacto no turismo em Guerrero: uma abordagem espacial, 1999-2014Resumo A insegurança levou a retardar o crescimento em diferentes regiões do Méxi-co.

Pela informação que prevalece sobre a insegurança em municípios do país disponíveis no INEGI e informações sobre turismo de renda proporciona SESNSP do período 1999-2014, construímos um índice de violência com que vamos mostrar que a maior concentração de insegurança esta localizadas principalmente em Acapulco e Chilpancingo, e este problema tem influenciado negativamente o crescimento da região dado ao seu impacto significativo no turismo.Palavras-chave: Insegurança; turismo; crescimento econômico.

“…Again, these effects are a likely consequence of entrepreneurs re-sponding to the uninsurable risks associated with terrorism, so they are effects of the second order. Similarly, Greenbaum et al (2007) for Italy show that terrorism has a destabilizing impact on business activity. Terrorist activity is found to reduce business formation and expansion, and employment.…”
